I live in a small Eastern European country, I am 34 years old and I write books, of which I have 12 published. I like all forms of art. I live in a small village in the countryside, giving me plenty of occasions to take pictures of the beautiful landscape. A couple of months ago I took part in a photography school, where I learned the basics of photography and the handling of a DSLR camera. Up until then I only took pictures (with my phone) of landscapes and nature. But the school I attended opened a door to a whole new world of opportunities, seeing shapes, forms, the streets, the people, etc. in a new and exciting light. I keep learning new and new things each time while taking pictures.
